Make it bigger with JetMaster and Sign-Tronic

Our South African distrubutor was showing what the combination of the right print technology, ink and substrate can do for any Print Service Provider. Printing on JetMaster Direct Print Photo Wraps, Sign-Tronic demonstrated that the size of the frame is not a limiting factor - just tile your image over multiple frames to get the impact you are looking for.

As you work on the image you create the [...]
